Diddy Allegedly Attempted to Force Entry Into Cassie Ventura's Apartment, Court Hears
Former girlfriend Cassie Ventura’s friend detailed a violent incident involving Diddy during his ongoing trial.
In a dramatic court session in Lower Manhattan, new evidence emerged against Sean "Diddy" Combs in his ongoing sex-trafficking trial. According to allegations, Combs attempted to break into his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura's apartment with a hammer after a violent altercation at an Intercontinental Hotel in 2016. Security footage of the initial assault has already been presented multiple times to the jury.
Kerry Morgan, who was Ventura’s close friend, recounted the frightening incident as she watched Combs furious at the door from the peephole. "He was banging on the door with a hammer," Morgan stated, describing a scene that made her fear for Ventura's safety. She testified that it took about three hours for police to arrive on the scene, but no official complaint was filed.
As the court proceedings progressed, additional allegations of Combs' violent behavior were revealed. Morgan described witnessing him drag Ventura down a long hotel corridor by her hair in Jamaica due to her taking too long in the bathroom. She also recounted her own experiences of abuse, claiming Combs choked her in 2018 and threw a hanger at her, resulting in her needing urgent medical care.
The testimony indicated that Morgan and Ventura had a close friendship that disintegrated following these events. Morgan disclosed that after their breakup, Ventura attempted to financially compensate her for her silence with a $30,000 offer in exchange for a non-disclosure agreement, which they signed.
Following Morgan's testimony, David James, Combs' former assistant, took the witness stand. He recounted working extensive hours for Combs and shared his observations about the hip-hop mogul's possessive nature toward Ventura. According to James, Combs made a remark while in his SUV that he had Ventura "right where I want her" and described her as "mouldable."
As the trial unfolds, Diddy faces grave charges including racketeering and sex trafficking, with the possibility of a life sentence if found guilty. The trial continues with James expected to provide further testimony, intensifying scrutiny on Combs' alleged abusive behavior and control over Ventura.
